Askenazi Jews gave up polygamy in Europe, in the eleventh century. However, Arab Jews continued the practice right up until the twentieth century. The state of Israel banned polygamy, but made an exception for Jewish immigrants from Arab areas such as Yemen.

Did conquering Muslim armies give Jews and Christians special treatment?

A:Christians and Jews were given better treatment than pagans, for what that was worth. Pagans were given the choice of converting to Islam or death. When Amr conquered Tripoli in 643, he forced the Jews and Christians to hand over their women and children as slaves to the Arab army and were told to deduct this handover from their poll-tax. Christians and Jews were always less equal than Muslims. They often had humiliation heaped on them by the conquering Muslims. In some cases, each family had to give up a son to be brought up as a Muslim. Muslim men could marry Christian or Jewish daughters, probably a necessity at a time when polygamy was widespread, but Christian men were forbidden to marry Muslim daughters.
